I am running for the House of Delegates in District 9B because we need someone to represent our values in Annapolis. I have lived in Howard County since 1973, in Ellicott City since 1984, and have been a registered Democrat my entire adult life. I have fought my entire adult life to make our schools the best they can be, to improve access to quality affordable heath care for all Marylanders and to protect and preserve our environment. My focus in the General Assembly would be two-fold—strong constituent services for District 9B and working to improve the quality of life for Marylanders in all parts of the state.
